Jimmy Kimmel made controversial comments about Charlie Kirk following Kirk's shooting and death. On his show, Kimmel accused the "MAGA gang" (supporters of Donald Trump and conservatives) of trying to politically exploit Kirk's death by portraying the alleged shooter as someone outside their group, despite claims that the shooter had conservative ties. Kimmel expressed disdain for this political maneuvering and also criticized President Trump's response to the tragedy, saying it resembled "how a toddler grieves for a goldfish." These remarks led ABC to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely. The comments were widely criticized as offensive and insensitive, drawing strong reactions from various political figures, including former President Trump who celebrated the suspension. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) also threatened to hold ABC and Disney accountable over the comments, describing them as spreading misinformation. Kimmel's remarks centered on accusing Trump's allies of leveraging Charlie Kirk's death for political gain and highlighted the deep political division in the country.
